The Mortuary Assistant
The Mortuary Assistant is Bringing the Chilling Nightmare to Consoles on August 2 with the Definitive Edition
Posted July 18, 2024Los Angeles, USA - July 18, 2024 — To celebrate the 2-year anniversary of the original PC release of The Mortuary Assistant, DarkStone Digital and DreadXP are thrilled to announce that the bone-chilling horror will be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on August 2nd. In addition to launching on new platforms, the Definitive Edition brings updated gameplay to both the PC and Nintendo Switch versions as well.
In The Mortuary Assistant, you take on the role of Rebecca Owens, a newly graduated apprentice at River Fields Mortuary, but not everything at this job is as it seems. Late one night you are called in to handle some embalmings. When the Mortician, Raymond, calls the mortuary when you arrive, you soon realize this is a night like none other and there’s no escape from the demonic forces plaguing the mortuary.
Examine and prepare bodies with disturbingly realistic techniques including cleaning, embalming, jaw-wiring, and more. Some bodies require the basics before returning them to the morgue, while others will need more of an esoteric approach to dispel the demons possessing them.
Key Features:
- Perform embalming tasks while keeping demonic forces at bay.
- Practice occult rituals to identify demonic entities.
- Piece together clues to banish the demon and save your soul.
- Uncover the gripping history of Rebecca Owens, the haunting past of River Fields, and a sinister secret that lies just beneath the surface…
- Groundbreaking system makes every playthrough unique, guaranteeing you will never feel completely safe.
- A story that unfolds through multiple playthroughs. Each demon you banish is just a piece of the puzzle.
- 10+ hours of content with more to find for inquisitive eyes.
The Mortuary Assistant: Definitive Edition adds new Haunt Events, an endless embalming-only mode, new bodies, additional lore, a new Valentine’s Day seasonal event in February, performance improvements, and more.
